Hard to find Silvertone Cathedral radio, that I believe is a model 1598. The tube lineup for this model is (1) 80, (1) 239, (2) 89 and (2) 236, which matches the lineup for the 1598, but I have no photos of the model to compare it to. Someone with more knowledge than I should be able to figure out the model number. All of the knobs turn smoothly and properly, as does the dial indicator. The knobs are all original, and the grill cloth is in good shape, with no rips or tears, but faded and worn. The finish on the radio has simply been cleaned and polished with a professional wood wax, but it is faded. The most significant veneer issue is the replacement of the veneer on the grill. From a distance it is difficult to detect and it is fairly well done, but it is not original. Also the sun burst/tiger stripe applied finish on the front is only present on the right side of the radio. The radio does not function, powers up, but there is only static and some humming when you place your finger on the top of either 89 tube. With that said, it will need to be recapped to get it fully functional. Attractive radio that will be a fine addition to your collection. In order to ensure safe delivery, the radio will be double boxed. Do not hesitate to make an offer, all will be considered.
